[HD2 General] baco200:
I think I have a problem with my HD2.

The screen of my hd2 was broken so I tried to replace it with a new one.

But when assambling I probably ripped the volume flex cable.

So I can´t press volume down to enter bootloader.

I had a custom rom installed and use an android sd rom.

But to make it a nandroid or change the radio I have to get into the bootloader.

Is there an other way to get into the bootloader the with the volume button??
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yes do a Google search for Touch Tools or Anestasia End Key these both have options to go straight to the bootloader via your touch screen.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
can't you just use RUU from your winmo ROM?
[HD2 General] meptik:
See attachment. Download, extract and copy to sd/phone memory. Run it.
[HD2 General] baco200:
Do I run this in android ?
[HD2 General] meptik:
Sorry, no. You'll have to run it from Windows Mobile. You did say you had a custom ROM installed, right, with Android running from SD?
[HD2 General] baco200:
yes, I figured it out already.

But if I´m right, I can only enter the bootloader from windows mob.

If I do mtty or flash magldr, I´ll always need the volume button to enter bootloader.

If I do mtty i´m screwed...

To install magldr you alsoo need the volume buttons to make selections in the magldr menu.

And yes I have a custom rom installed and android from sd.

I managed to change the radio and custom rom with the file you posted.

Thank god I forgot to do mtty, because I couldn´t enter the bootloader if there isn´t a win mobile installed.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I have no real clue if this is actually posible or not, just thinking out loud here. But you might want to check into seeing if it is possible to change the volume down to the volume up button to make it enter bootloader. I know the bootloader is a program that is not part of Windows Mobile so I doubt very seriously you could do it via a regestry tweek. But it has to be something in the code are something for the bootloader to know to run when that combination of buttons are being pressed. Something like if x=1 & z=1 then run .exe. I am no programer by any means but that is just an idea from my basic understanding of code. If anybody else wants to add to this thought please do good or bad cause I would like to know if I am anywhere close to right or if I am just day dreaming lol.
[Captivate General] Algorismus:
I was waiting official froyo for my gps to work. i upgraded to froyo,and tried my gps. My gps didnt work. then i searched the gps fixes in xda.

Firstly i tried the settings in this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=732030 . Didnt work.

then i tried the second method in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=786486&highlight=settings. didnt work.

Then stored the orginal files that are replaced in the second method and tried some other settings. didnt work.

Today ,while i was turning off the screen, i turned off the phone. Then i turned on the phone and i tried the gps, and it started working. i locks in at most 30 seconds, and generally in 10-15 seconds. It works fine now. Accurecy is 10-15 meters generally. I used navigation software and its fine. I didnt understand what is changed but it works :)

My current settings are:

SUPL/CP Settings/SErver FQDN Type/Custom Config

Application settings/Operation Mode/Standalone

SUPL/CP Settings/Server/supl.google.com

SUPL/CP Settings/Port/7276

SUPL/CP Settings/SUPL Secure Socket/Off

Hope this helps.
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
Its all about the supl.google.com I go from 2 satellites to 6+ locking in seconds

[Optimus One, P500, V General] gerovex:
Hey guys, so here's my problem. For some time now, every time i connected my phone through usb cable to pc, it was recognized by it, but after a couple of seconds it got disconected. Also every time i i try to turn on my phone, it enters emergency mode, and i have to remove the battery a couple of times before it boots up the phone normally. I sent the phone to warranty, and they made an update to android 2.2.2. The phone worked fine for a couple of hours then it started having the same problems again. Anywone have an ideea of what the problem is, 'couse now i'm stuck using my card adapter to copy stuff, and it gets really annoyng.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ciolnadu:
try another sd card
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gerovex:
I dunno if the card is the problem because it does the same thing even with no sd card in the phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cybercoaster:
Is there anyway of using swype on this phone without going through the root process and loaded a custom ROM?

TIA
[HTC Inspire 4G] techskill:
You can sign up for the beta at http://swypeinc.com, but since the phone is locked down to keep you from installing non-Market apps, you won't be able to install the file they send you. If you can get your hands on the .apk file for the installation, you can use Sideload Wonder Machine to install it without needing root access.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dewgong:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-inspire-4g/60295-guide-installing-swype-beta-htc-inspire-4g.html

I don't know if it requires root, but I have root and I got mine. lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] cybercoaster:
Thanks, I will give it a shot
[HTC Inspire 4G] kscheryl:
I tried every trick known to man .. lol ... the only way you are going to get swype if it is an ATT phone is to root the phone otherwise they have blocked the option.
[HTC Inspire 4G] blazablaz:
I was able to install it via Side Wonder Machine. I must say, it's amazing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] discord2k:
Install APK's easily

This is the best way at least for me. Super easy and the software has many other uses. :)

(P.S. I stole this... it's from some android forum)

1. Download Droid Explorer for your system. http://de. codeplex. com/ (remove spaces from link)

2. Now, go to your phone. Settings> Applications> Development > USB Debugging.

3. Make sure you downloaded the drivers for the captivate then plug in your phone and select PC connect and mount the phone.

4. Now open Droid Explorer and connect the device. Right click and select batch install.

5. Now a screen should pop up and you should select the APKs you would like to install and it is self explanatory from there on out.

Register and follow the instructions.

This was posted in the other thread about keyboards for the inspire. It's exactly what I did and My phone is 100% stock. No root or anything.
[HTC Inspire 4G] javanutsy:
Followed the AndroidCentral method last night and it worked great! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] DaddyGoFast:
It works like a champ!!!!

I love this forum!
[HTC Inspire 4G] blackwrx02:
How have I managed to live without Swype?! Just got it installed yesterday and its amazing!

Great Job

Thank you so much, I could not get Swype on my Inspire. I was sent invite for the Beta, but when I click on their link I got message this is not an Android Phone. Awesome Job thanks.:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] cmeyer3:
No problem at all. Always happy to help
[HTC Inspire 4G] GMArthur:
Thanks as well. I should be getting my Inspire tomorrow. I'm so used to swyping on my captivate this should make my life easier. Can't wait to sideload this on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] drummer07:
Does anyone know if its possible to use the swype from the motorola's? Like the atrix, droid x etc. I really like the theme of that one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] millman:
Nope, none of these worked

The Android Central method--i don't get past the ADB command, computer doesn't know what to do with that...

I can sideload fine and got the installer on my phone but it won't download the actual swype.apk. Instructions say to wait even though it's an error... Waited half hour and still no swype.apk appeared in downloads folder.

Took the swype.apk provided in this forum. Installed fine but out of date... which is fine. I'm happy to get officially from Swype. Tried the swype installer now I have swype (out-of-license) installed. Installer said you need to update license. Ok fine. Great! Tried and came up with error.

I love swype that I had on my captivate. I would pay for the app. Just not sure I'm willing to root my two day old phone just to get swype on it...
[HTC Inspire 4G] MatUK.8:
I used the androidcentral method. Worked fire me, no root. Just sign up for the beta on swype's website. Then go from there. I think I was stuck in the same part as you. Basically you just continue on with the process don't worry about the part that says wait or error.

You will get the updated installer direct from swype website.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MatUK.8:
I got swype before the update. So I removed swype and swype installer. Then went to http://beta.swype.com/android/get and went through the android central method again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
You had to go to the forums to get it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MatUK.8:
I tried to go to the webpage through the dolphin browser and I got the message that I was not on an android device. But then I used the stock internet app and it worked. This is assuming that you knew you had to open the webpage through your device in the first place.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CB620:
find the swypeinstaller.apk and run it sign up and it will install the newest version
[HTC Inspire 4G] GMArthur:
Just followed the instructions linked to @ android central. Worked like a charm. Glad I finally got this working as it was the only thing I liked better about the Captivate vs the inspire.

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] acmys:
All I did was fake a user agent in Chrome, download.

then in terminal (on a mac), typed:

./adb install ./SwypeInstaller.apk
[HTC Inspire 4G] DaddyGoFast:
Here is the latest APK for the revision to beta. This version is: 2.29.71.20186

THIS IS EN/SP ONLY!!! This is not the full installer with all the languages.

I have uploaded two files. One is for the installer itself for those with rooted devices.

The "mypackage" apk is for those of use with locked devices and is the swype package itself. You can sideload this using the SWM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheCoutures:
I searched through the threads and really couldn't get a definitive answer I know a lot of people will say there isn't really any best radio just one that is best for you. With that said is the anyone in from this thread in the USA specifically in the Virginia Area more specifically in the Hampton Roads / Williamsburg area running TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 RC1+ v2.4.4 on their HD2?

Currently I am running this build on my HD2 with radio 2.15 but everyone who I talk to tells me I sound like I'm talking like I'm on speaker, in the bathroom, hallway, etc.

With that said anyone else running this Build with a different radio in this area with better experience?

Thanks to all who answer
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lowrider262:
try a 2.12 radio. in my experience anything before 2.12 doesnt work good at all. 2.12.50.02 seemed to work ok for me, but i still went back to 2.15.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheCoutures:
Ya I just put on 2.12 lets see what happens I guess
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheCoutures:
2.12 fixed the problem I called one of my buddies who was the first one to say he you sound like your on speaker or in a bathroom or whatever and now he says it sounds like a regular call, plus on 2.15 I was getting like two bars three tops now I'm getting full bars to maybe one less then full at all times.

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thejihell:
Hi

I flashed my Hd2 with the 1.4 Cordroid rom on nand.

To do this I used a small SDcard and now wish to change it for a biger one.

How can i proceed without reflashing following the entire proces ?

Thanks all droidhd2 dev and users !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rikardo1979:
Just clone your card.

Or just copy the content of your old SD to the new one. Just make sure u copy all also the hidden files/folders. The best way to do it is with some file manager like Total Commander or similar.

It should work.

That's cool. I paid for their GBA emulator and it works amazing. They make a solid product. Plus it was nice to not just look longingly at my Zelda: link to the past cartridge /4 swords cartridge. Would gladly pay for a DS emulator as I'm sure my DS systems days are numbered. It doesn't matter how good you take care of something, i know the minute I turn my back on my toddler its going to be an expensive fish tank decoration.

Good find, thanks.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JackpotClavin:
How would I go about porting a gingerbread build from say, the nexus one to my droid pro? Like, what variables from the nexus one's build would need to be changed in order to get it running on my phone in the form of an update.zip? So far I've gathered the framework needs to be modified to work with my phone but what else? I'm pretty linux savvy and have enough free time coming up to be able to get something working.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] deckard67:
I think I am going to pull the trigger and purchase the GS4G. From all that I have read it seems to be an excellent device and will only be outdone by the dual core phones coming later this year (bionic, atrix, Galaxy S2). I currently own the original pre 3.5mm headphone jack MyTouch 3g. I rooted a year ago and have been running custom roms. I love the things that I can do, but am frustrated by two things. 1) my phone is obsolete and does not run froyo without massive lag. 2) the stability of custom roms can be frustrating.

I want this phone, partially because I can root and eventually run custom roms on it, when I get bored with the stock ROM. (will not get a motorola phone because of the locked boot loader)

Here is my noob question, does using the super one click method of rooting install a less stable version OS or does it just reinstall the same OS with superuser permissions? A semi-technical explanation of what rooting does would be appreciated.

Will rooting also unlock hotspot and wifi tethering?

Sorry for the dumb questions. I can follow directions on how to do things, but I am not a programmer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] SykesAT:
this. rooting in itself just gives you superuser permissions. When ROMs come out for the SGS4g you can then change the "software"
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tq745:
we need to get CWM working before we can install custom roms. hopefully the wait will not be as long.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] droidboy29:
To answer your question rooting does not install a less stable OS. Really the only thing you will notice different is that you will have a superuser app in your app drawer and you will be able to use root apps. Yes it will enable you to download a wireless teather app which requires root, type android wifi teather into your google search and it will be the first option called google host project. All your android wifi teather downloads are in there.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tsquire99:
Mobile AP works perfect too. No need to download a third party app.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
I can confirm this. So to answer your question in short, yes, rooting will allow you to tether, no need for a custom rom just yet.
[HD2 General] carpy47:
hi

Can i change my hd2 from windows 6.5 to android and how easy and safe is it.

thanks for any advice
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Yes you can, it is quite easy just view an android development thread for more details.

Is it safe ! well reasonably ! devices running droid seem to suffer higher amaounts of screen/motherboard faults.

To me a Energy WM6.5.5 ROM is the way to go, Android is quite dull & from my experience with a desire far from logical in menu options & controls.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yes you can install Andriod on your HD2. a NAND Andriod ROM wipesWindows Mobile completely off your HD2. You can also keep your Windows Mobile and boot Andriod from your SD card . The SD card way is what I suggest first cause you can get a good feel for how Andriod runs on the HD2. Plus there is no risk of messing up/bricking your HD2 as far as the software side goes. It is thought that running Andriod from SD card stresses your SD card and the SD card reader a little more. If you still are interested in a NAND Andriod ROM though go to the Andriod section for the HD2 here on XDA there you can either go to SD devlopment or NAND development to learn more. SD csrd is very easy, but NAND requires much more Here is a link to member MSkip's awsome guide to installing a NAND Andriod ROM.

I agree with the above post it does seem like running Andriod on your HD2 may have aome adverse effects on your screen and mainboard. But notice I said "may" nothing has been confirmed as far as I know. And yes Adriod does lack a good bit that Windows Mobile has but a little seaching the Andriod market you can find the apps you need for certain features you liked in Windows Mobile.
[Nook Color General] cnewsgrp:
Does anyone know any app that is the equivalent of or provides same functionality as "Archos Video" app or "Allshare" samsung app.

I am looking for something that is a DLNA client - has the ability to connect to home network DLNA server such as Tversity or Windows Media Player and play videos
[Nook Color General] jasoraso:
I haven't tried it on my nook, but the app "Skifta" is a generic DLNA app ... available in the Market

EDIT: just realized you are looking for a client, not a server .... sorry ...
[Nook Color General] cnewsgrp:
No Problem. Thanks for trying to help.
[Nook Color General] dsolar:
I'm still looking for the right combination of Server & Client. Here is my experience so far:

Mac OS DLNA Servers I'm testing (Twonky Server, Orb, Majestic, Playback, MediaLink). I want to stream Music, Movies and Photos from the iMAC/Server for playback ON the NC.

Twonky Mobile (not twonky Mobile Server) worked best for me. It played Movies, Music, and Photos from Twonky Server, Majestic, and Playback). I was only able to stream Music from the Orb server. My only complaint is the quality of playback is not consistant. But this may be caused by my WLAN bandwidth/coverage.

UPnPlayer worked as well. I did not care for the UI and playlist process. Also, it locked up when I tried to play/view photos. It played Movies and Music from Twonky Server, Majestic, and Playback). I was only able to stream Music from the Orb server.. The best thing about UPnPlayer is that it let's you choose which APP will actually Play the media (i.e. stock music player or Doubletwist, Stock Video or Rockplayer, etc.)

2Player - I was able to see all the Server applications. But it would not present the media folders from several for them. I was able to play music from Orb and Playback. The interface was my favorite, but too bad it just for music.

EML UPnP - I didn't like this one so I did not test it much. But it was able to see most of the Media Servers. Appeared to be Music only.

Hope this helps

When I first joined At&t I was pleasantly surprised at data speeds I got at my office and home. 120 - 200 KBps at work and 300 - 500 KBps at home.

However beginning in February network speeds have dropped to just 2 - 8 KBps at my office. Network speeds remain unchanged at home.

I have called At&t on numerous occasions requesting that they repair the local tower to no avail.

It will be one month since the tower stopped working on March 7th.

I am at the beginning of a 2 yr contract. What are my options.
[Networking] kramerty88:
Are there any coworkers/colleagues with the sake problem, or just you? Because you can't do much on your own, but when there are others with the same problem you can call at&t again.
[Networking] speedy1979:
My co-worker has an iPhone 4 with at&t and when I asked her to run speedtest.net she got the same results. But she doesn't use her phone for data so she isn't really affected.
[Networking] MikeEblade:
keep calling!!!
[Networking] csabia1990:
keep on it then they will get it done
[Networking] speedy1979:
Well I suspect that at&t will never fix the tower. Regardless they have until 3/10/11 or i'll be leaving.
[Networking] androidcues:
Climb the tower yourself. Fixit!
[Networking] speedy1979:
Very funny. I probably would if I could.:p

I decided to run speedtest while taking a walk near my job and I have discovered that the data dead zone covers most of little Italy in the Bronx. :(

I've yet to find a way to inspire AT&T to fix small problems. Good luck with a tower.
[Networking] soraxd:
actually there is something you can do yourself. im actually an AT&T employee, i work in a rural area, so we get many complaints about signal strength, if you actually call the big office, and tell them your situation, they will send you a "micro cell". what that is, is basically a cellphone amplifier for your house, it will boost signal strength. were currently the only US company to offer this. i hope this helps

[Networking] Laramie1997:
Yea, that's cool, but what I suspect is happening in this guy's case is over-saturation of the AT&T network which is a common problem. I was with AT&T from like 1994 until 20010 when I finally ditched them for Verizon. (Funny how I as soon as I switched, 3G was turned on in my area) Where I live, I'm in a rural area and with 3G speeds under AT&T during off peak hours, I can see speeds up to 3Mbps and higher, but during the day you can just forget getting anything done. If I go into town, I'm hosed constantly.

I have family that works for AT&T as well as myself doing some consulting work for them, and their business plan in my area just sucks.
[Networking] speedy1979:
It appears that at&t has instituted a partial fix network speeds have increased from only 2 - 8 KB/s to 30 - 45 KB/s.

Which suggest that they have restored 3g but have yet to restore 4g.
[Networking] gamma32:
At&t let me walk from my contract by providing non existent service..There response where that they were installing new towers very close to my house and they wouldn't be functional for 9 months..
[Networking] speedy1979:
Nine months to install a tower??? What is at&t smoking?

I was on vacation a few years ago and I watched Sprint install a new tower in 3 days and initialize it a week later.

I would have stayed with Sprintpcs but there service is very weak where I work.
